Body image anxiety is cultivated and manipulated by the advertising incubus in order to sell things. The basic technique of advertising is to inculcate feelings of personal inadequacy in people, by comparing them to invariably attractive models, and to falsely insinuate that buying whatever useless junk they are peddling will render the victim beautiful, attractive, in short 'a winner'. It is a form of naked psychic molestation, directed even at children, a perfect example of morality under capitalism. Anything goes, no matter how much it damages other people, if you can make a buck out of it.
